4-4 Sun StorEdge D240 Media Tray Installation, Operation, and Service Manual • August 2001
f. Replace the front bezel on the media tray.
4. Configure the Solaris operating environment.
You must create a new device entry for the drive in the /devices and /dev/dsk
and /dev/rdsk hierarchy. Assign the new drive a name associated with the slot into
which the drive is installed.
The naming convention for disks attached to a host port or a host adapter is
cwtxdysz, where:
w corresponds to the SBus controller in your system
x corresponds to the media tray disk slot
y is the logical unit for the disk drive (always 0)
z is the slice (or partition) on the disk.
For example, if the media tray is connected to a host adapter corresponding to
controller c2 and you add a drive to the right slot, the new drive appears as
/dev/dsk/c2t4d0s[0-7] and /dev/rdsk/c2t4d0s[0-7].
To create a new device entry:
a. Become superuser and use the drvconfig and disks commands to add the
new device:
b. Verify that the new disk has been created:
where c2t4d0s* is the expected device name for the new drive in the right slot.
The new drive is now available for use as a block or character device. Refer to the
sd(7) man pages for further details.
5. Perform either Step 6 or Step 7 as appropriate.
6. Configure the new disk drive for a UNIX file system (UFS).
Caution – This procedure must be performed only by a qualified system
administrator. Performing hot-plug operations on an active drive can result in data
loss.
